Change, a challenge


















Zeal to win over self ushers in peace,
Yearning to win over others results in war.

Competition, a weapon insecure, ill at ease,
In the guise of excellence, to bring out expertise
Is a virus that spreads in the veins, corrupts; a disease
that overcasts the mind, too deep, too far.

Competition knows no pollution, poverty,
Misery and chicanery it hears and sees everywhere.

It fills our organs with stress, violence, anxiety
From work to the world, it propels to destroy fraternity.
A delinquent machine that connives camaraderie into monstrosity
Spreading an insipid, insolent, and a deadly scare.

Winning over others is a defocused conviction
Winning over self, a charming, a mature engagement.

This shift in the mind needs to be brought into fruition
A real change, when work gets done in its own volition
Wealth reaps, the hungry germ dinosaurs into extinction,
World bequeaths peace, beneath the same blue firmament.
